The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has announced that the National Archive will now house all important judgments from courts and tribunals. 

Lexis®Library update: It has said this will save time and money for anyone needing access to judgments, such as judges, academics, journalists, students, and anyone that needs them for research or case preparation. From April 2022 significant judgments from the High Court, Upper Tier Tribunal, and the Court of Appeal will be available, as well as Judicial Review rulings, European case law, and commercial judgments.

Speaking about the announcement, Chief Executive and Keeper at The National Archives, Jeff James, said: ‘Court and tribunal judgments are vital public records. As world leaders in digital archiving and legal publishing, The National Archives will ensure that judgments are safely preserved and made accessible for the centuries to come’.
